Stanwick Golf Club, Northants. (1905 - WW1)
The club first appeared in 1905.
A 9-hole course laid out on fields belonging to the “Squire of Stanwick” Mr Wetenhall.
Following WW1 the Stanwick course was ploughed up and this prompted a move to Rushden where the Rushden & District Golf Club was established in 1919.

Thanks to Martin Izzard author of Northamptonshire’s Lost Courses for his help with Stanwick and other defunct clubs and courses in Northampton.
Thanks to Stanwick Parish Council for providing the following information on the location of the golf course. "It was located in the fields behind the bungalows in Grange Road and accessed via the lane (still there) that goes up between the last bungalow and the stone wall of Hill House Gardens."
